RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to TSI Incorporated for the purchase of respirator fit

DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) grant from the federal Department of
Homeland Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland
Security. This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic
preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first
responders have adequate equipment and systems to prevent, respond to
and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant provides total
reimbursement to local agencies for equipment purchases approved and
authorized by the federal Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP).
In an effort to increase homeland security, personnel from the Police
Department have been issued powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR).
Personnel from the Fire Department currently use self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) as part of their emergency response
equipment. The Department of Homeland Security has adopted the
National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) standards for the
equipment. The NIOSH standards require annual testing to ensure the
equipment is functioning properly. The recommended action will allow
for the purchase of respirator fit testers and accessories required for
personnel from the Police and Fire Departments to perform and document
the annual equipment tests as required by state and federal
regulations.
